For Art Consultants, Framers & Designers

I license high-resolution coastal landscape and seascape photographs to art consultants, framers and designers, who print them and place them in hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, banks and offices. You email me what you need, I send the file, and the fee is based on print size.

Most of my work ends up on a wall because of somebody like you.

I’ve worked with Providence Picture Frame and Creative A for years, and that’s how a lot of my photographs found their way into hospitals, nursing homes, offices and restaurants.

You know the client, the room and the budget. I don’t need to be in the middle of that. My job is to make it easy to say yes to one of my photographs, get you a good file, and get out of your way.

How does it work?

It’s about as simple as it sounds.

  1. You email me what you need. A title, a link, or just a description. “Three calm horizontals for a dental office” is plenty to go on.
  2. I send you the file. High resolution, ready to print.
  3. You print, frame and install it. Your lab, your framing, your client.
  4. I send an invoice. The fee is based on the size of the print, and each license covers one print at one location. Ask and I’ll send you the numbers.

Sometimes a client wants the piece signed. I’m happy to come in and do that when I can get there.

Not sure which image? I’ll make up samples

When Centreville Bank was choosing art for one of their buildings, the woman who ran the program reached out to me. I made up some samples for her to look at, she picked the ones she liked, and about 30 of my photographs ended up on their walls.

I’m glad to do the same for you. Tell me about the space and I’ll pull together a short set to show your client.

What’s in the catalog?

Calm coastal work, the kind that suits waiting rooms, hallways, lobbies and dining rooms:

  • Seascapes. Long exposures, sunrise and blue hour, rocky shores.
  • Lighthouses and landmarks. Point Judith, Beavertail, Watch Hill, Block Island, the Newport Bridge, Race Point.
  • Landscapes. Fields, trees, rivers, quiet New England scenes.
  • City scenes. Providence and a few others. A smaller set.
  • Florida’s Gulf Coast. A few now, with a lot more coming this spring.

Don’t see what you need? Ask. I have a lot more on the hard drives than I have on the website. If you need a calm blue horizontal of Narragansett Bay, there’s a good chance I’ve got one.

Will they hold up at size?

Yes. My photographs get printed at feature-wall size all the time, and they hold up. Tell me the size you’re planning and I’ll make sure the file is right for it.

Where my work has ended up

  • Hospitals, medical offices and nursing homes around Rhode Island
  • The Rhode Island Veterans Home
  • Gregg’s Restaurants & Taverns in North Kingstown, Warwick and East Providence

A little about me

I’ve been photographing the New England coast for more than 30 years. Air Force veteran, past president of the Photographic Society of Rhode Island, two books, and work featured on NBC and in Shutterbug Magazine. I had a three-month solo show at the Dryden Gallery at Providence Picture Frame.

You’ll be dealing with me directly. Not a stock agency, not a form that goes nowhere.

Something more personal: hand-printed limited editions

Some clients want more than a picture on the wall. They want an original.

For those, I make a small limited edition myself. I choose the paper, I make the print, and I keep printing until I’m happy with it. Then I sign it, number it, and send it with the story behind the photograph and a certificate of authenticity.

Questions people ask

How do I license one of your photographs?

Email me the image you want, or describe what you’re looking for. I’ll send a print-ready file and invoice you a fee based on the print size. You handle the printing, framing and installation.

How much does it cost?

The fee depends on the size of the print. Tell me about the project and I’ll give you a straight answer.

What does a license cover?

One print, at one location. If you need more prints or more locations, just ask and we’ll work it out.

Can you send samples for my client to look at?

Yes. Tell me about the space and I’ll put together a short set.

Can you sign the finished piece?

Yes, when I can get there. I’ve done that for clients before.

Do you have Florida images?

A few now, and a lot more coming this spring from Venice, Siesta Key and the rest of the Gulf Coast.

Let’s talk about your project

Tell me who the client is, what the rooms are, and when you need it. I’ll write back myself, usually within a day.
